On Bolt Report an ongoing policy is that any Islam post can only be on the pinned leader. Normal rules apply in that if it is merely foul and abusive it will be deleted. Otherwise comments are welcome.

A storm has come to Sydney. Cool air. Good where I live on the top floor of a unit block, but terrible for many. Flooding. People have died. This is where infrastructure is important. Flood mitigating initiatives were not pursued for more than a decade when ALP were in office. Instead, money was diverted to a desalination plant in Sydney which has never been useful. Also, the outback needs to be developed so that such an excess of water goes to food production, and not waste. People die from ALP excess wether they know it or not.
Australia's foreign minister visited Charlie Hebdo in France, and thanked the magazine for their work. “If people don’t like it, don’t buy it. The utterly brutal and disproportionate response by the terrorists murdering people at this magazine, is to be condemned.”. An actual journalist working for @spiegelonline, has found documents which show how ISIL came into being. It is, as Mr Abbott has said many times, a death cult. It has been built around East German Stasi lines as Saddam Hussein's intelligence network chiefs have devised it. It exploits Islam but has nothing to do with it. Which may startle some who weren't observant. Islam doesn't approve of homosexuality, yet jihadis have been given dispensation for sodomy on the front lines of this civil war (everywhere). Islam does not approve of cross dressing, but jihadis do it and act as if it is clever. Islam does not prove of women fighting men, but again the jihadis do that. Islam does not prove of suicide bombing. Islam does not like desecration of holy objects. Islam promotes justice, yet the jihadis version of Sharia Law does not provide it. Jihadis are killing other Muslims. Jihadis torture peaceful peoples who have done nothing to warrant it. Jihadis rape children and innocent women, and men. Were a jihadis to face an established sharia court anywhere in the world with evidence of these crimes they would be killed.
ISIL has been designed by one of Iraq's intelligence colonels who worked for Saddam and was trained by his regime. But the reason why it is so effective is because the inept former PM of Iraq who was in Iran's pocket, did not try to run a cohesive government. A young democratic state was brutally abused by him and Obama. His regime was easy to overthrow because he failed to use all the resources at hand, favouring Shiites over others. Yet those others also have nationalistic pride. And they want to live. What should be of international concern is Iran's development of nuclear weapons. It goes hand in hand with North Korea's development, and is a threat to world peace.
In 753 BC, Rome was founded by Romulus. In 43 BC, at the Battle of Mutina, Antony got a tactical victory over superior numbers of troops, preventing their encirclement of him. Among the republic's forces opposing him was Octavian. Octavian did not like fighting with the forces who killed his adoptive dad, but it gave him honour. In 900, the Laguna Copperplate inscription was made, the earliest record of writing in the Philippines. The writing system was from Java, but based on an earlier Phoenician script. In 1509, King Henry VIII came to the throne on the death of his dad. 1782, Bangkok was founded. In 1792, Brazilian revolutionary Tiradentes was hanged, drawn and quartered. It had not gone to plan. He had intended to lead a revolt during a tax take for Portugal three years earlier. But he was betrayed by a trusted friend who was given a promise of tax relief. In 1856, Labour movement involving stonemasons and building workers march from Melbourne University to parliament house over an eight hour work day. It was before television. Melbourne University was less than three years old. Gold had only been discovered five years earlier in Victoria. They were successful. In 1914, the US Navy operating near Veracruz intercepted a German arms shipment to Mexico. In 1918, Richthofen was shot down. In 1934, the Surgeon's Photograph, a known hoax, was supposed to have photographed the Loch Ness Monster.
2014
Neville Wran is dead. Nearly 38 years of corruption has had an opening close. Only the baton of activity also long passed hands. They aren't stupid. They go into public life thinking they have something to offer. The party machine is evil. They are inducted into corruption. They can't leave it, but advance so they might put their personal stamp on things .. only their tools are corrupt. And those charged with keeping them honest aren't doing it. Some really disturbing things involved with Wran in his years in office .. the assassination of Donald McKay and the inability to prosecute those involved. The growth of Underbelly style organised crime. The smearing of the previous Askin Administration by inflating activity that was occurring under Wran. The disappearance of anti drug campaigners. The early release of criminals from prison to order. Corruption of the public service. The inability of NSW to develop infrastructure. Widespread public strikes. Only now is the second airport being built. A lucky break came with the election of Greiner. NSW sidestepped the late 80's crash thanks to prudent choices he made .. meanwhile ALP governments in Vic, SA and WA saw the collapse of credit unions and resultant issues that have still to be fully addressed today. But the media cheer team are pumping out revisionist history praising Wran. So I will add, Wran was very good. After he was caught being corrupt, he gave the tools to others. And shielded them.
Nobody likes drought, famine or plague. It is understandable that people would do any responsible action to address it, but on this day in 1506 in Portugal, a crowd took steps that were harmful which did not address the problems. It was as if AGW believers had been transported into the past. Some claimed they had seen a miracle of Christ's face on the altar. A new Christian (converted Jew) made the reasonable claim that what was seen was the reflection of a candle. For the temerity of being right, the new Christian was kicked to death by the true believers. But the true believers were not finished. They wanted to end drought, famine and plague. So they found some 1900 new Christians and killed them too. History shows that the drought, famine and plague ended, but that wasn't because the crowd had murdered 1900 new Christians (Jews). It is and was an insult to Jews to call them Christians, or like Christians. They had been forced to convert by a political edict not dissimilar to AGW scientists today giving credentials to other AGW scientists. Today, AGW scientists are demanding we do nothing worthwhile, but spend a lot of money, addressing climate change. It is reasonable, then to charge such people with war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
